Land Vibroseis Source Advances towards Low Frequencies

Extending the frequency bandwidth towards low frequencies using the Vibroseis method has gained a lot of attenation recently. The source (vibrators) becomes one of the obtacles in the success of recording low frequency seismic signals. How do we increase the vibrator ground force at low frequencies (< 10 Hz)? Can the vibrator control electronics effectively supress harmonic distortion at low frequencies? This paper attempts to provide a fresh look at these questions.
